I installed the Visual Studio Community 2015 and wanted to connect it with SQL Server, but from what I understand I don’t need to install SQL Server, I just need to download SQL Server Data Tools. That’s right?

Visual Studio can install SQL Server for you. You can also install separately if you want some other edition that doesn’t come with Visual Studio, which can even only be used for development.

SQL Server Data Tools is fully optional.

    Vlw, I didn’t have SQL Server installed on the notebook, so I tried to install SQL Server Data Tools and he even asked if he wants to install SQL Server or not. I did a test on my Desktop that already has SQL Server and at the time of installing SQL Server Data Tools the installer doesn’t even ask if I want to install SQL Server or not (probably by already identifying it on the machine).
